Indeed, I think the JOSM message of the day in September won't be exactly
polite against Oracle!

Hello,
I got in contact with Jiri Vanek. He might be our saviour.
As some of you may know, he's the one behind IcedTea-Web (ITW: the free &
open-source implementation of Java WebStart in the IcedTea project):
https://icedtea.classpath.org/wiki/IcedTea-Web
The project is still actively developed (t
One month already and I still don't know what to do regarding WebStart.
I found out this: https://developers.redhat.com/products/openjdk/download/
Red Hat is providing an implementation of OpenJDK 8 on Windows containing:
- OpenJDK
- OpenJFX
- WebStart based on IcedTea-Web
- An auto-update feature
If we were to abandon AWT/Swing, migrating to SWT might be another option.
I don't think it would be easy, but at least it's actively maintained:

I don't think it's worth speculating now.

a convenience for some users - but we can ship JOSM otherwise, e.g.
using a launcher like many java programs do) and other non-JOSM

My reading of this Oracle post is that is to actually change the way you
ship the applications. Instead of relying on JRE installation on client
station - ship your code bundled with JRE as jlink does (and take care
about all the updates yourself).
Anyway I guess that we can assume that number of

WebStart is going away. It is the only part of Java that isn't open source
and they explicitely stated they won't open source it:

So at least starting from September we'll have to make the WebStart link
less prominent as it won't work anymor

In any case, as I read it, the implication is that oracle simply doesn't
want to be involved, not that anything will be going away.

I wouldn't be too concerned. With all due respect for your coding work,
I don't think that the actual program code is the essential thing about
JOSM. It'
